The AM/FM antenna is etched onto the right side window glass. The antenna has an amplifier located just above the window. This amplifier will vary upon the entertainment and information system fitted to the vehicle. High line systems will have a larger amplifier for diversity tuning.

The rear window incorporates an FM antenna and a VICS/TMC antenna etched onto the glass. The FM antenna is used in the diversity tuning system along with the respective antenna amplifiers.

The left side window antenna is used for DAB band III signal reception.
